Pulp fiction - don't ask me how, even bought it on DVD and still haven't got around to watching all of it yet.

You must watch it - great film. Recommend editing it first and assembling into the correct order, then it will make more sense.

Napoloen Dynamite, switched off after 10 minutes.

Hellboy II, switched off after 20 minutes.

Im probably going to get shot down for this but, Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, just didnt get it, off after 20 mins or so.

No, you're 100% correct - Fear & Loathing... WTF!!!

Usual Suspects.............and yes i know what your thinking. I got about 45 minutes in, didn't have a clue what it was about and gave up through complete boredom.
As i have it on dvd, i may eventually watch it to the end, and then realise why it's noted by most as 'one of the greatest', but for now i'm quite happy to think its total and utter crap.

Agree with the poster about Van Helsing - the only time I have ever walked out of the cinema. Asbolute tosh - not even Kate Beckinsale clad in leather could save it.

However, people that haven't watched Pulp Fiction all the way to the end - you have to otherwise it makes no sense. It's well worth the investment.

Same goes for Usual Suspects - which is an awesome film with an incredible ending - watch it!

I can see a HUGE amount of agreement on this thread!

Okay, I'll give Usual Suspects a second look, and try to last further than 30 mins.

Anyone know if it's worth watching more of Fear & Loathing? And does the Lord of The Rings get more exciting than "Road Trek". I've watched the first, and wondered if I'd missed anything as dispite it's huge length, there didn't seem to be any film (you know, middle, ending things happening etc). Haven't dared watch the two sequals yet.

I've tried to watch the Matrix 3 times - I keep falling asleep in the same place!! (just as he wakes up in the pod thing)

I've given up now, I guess it's not really my cup of tea!

[Jasandjules]

Fight club.

Happy feet.....

Layer Cake.

[Ciaran]

The Godfather for some reason.

I saw Matrix 2 in an impressive IMAX cimena, with huge screen and impressive sound - didin't keep me awake either

Worst. Sequals. Ever.

Couldn't agree more!
So clever at the end...

The soundtrack is great too - love the begining with the Audi going up the 'Drive'.

Oh and have to agree with LOTR - bought the boxset and only seen one, don't have the strength to watch the rest, my eyes keep closing...

[GreenDog]

Hairspray - was loaned it by a friend and she raved about it. OH and I got about 10 mins in a put BBC1 back on

[Established 1984]

Cloverfield.... got half way through and just couldn't be bothered to waste the next hour of my life. Which considering I was a student at the time is amaing.

Usual Suspects MUST be watched. Quiet, awake and sober, without distractions. Enjoy.

If you don't revisit Fear and Loathing I wouldn't be too concerned that you have missed anything.

Lord of the Rings films are proper marmite films ..... I hate marmite!

[ali_kat]

Grrrrr

This was not meant to be a what did you find a god-awful boring thread we've had hundreds of those before

But what film have you only seen part of that you think you should watch all the way through?

[rhinochopig]

The eternal wotsit spotless mind film and the utterly utterly tedious lost in translation. The latter beggars belief TBH.

[JamesIIIII]

Tropic Thunder, off within 20 mins, and posted back to lovefilm

It's because of films like this, and Grease, and Ghost, and Titanic that God invented the traditional British pub for men!

I'll probably get flamed for this on PH but for me it's Bullitt. Got the film on dvd and fast forwarded to the chase sequences which I've watched on numerous occasions but never been arsed to watch the whole film through.
